Method Detail

getSigner

BlobRequestSigner getSigner()

Generates signed requests for blobs. useful in other tools such as backup utilities.

createInputStreamMap

@Deprecated
InputStreamMap createInputStreamMap(String container,
                                               ListContainerOptions options)

Deprecated. will be removed in jclouds 1.7. Please use BlobStore

Creates a Map view of the specified container. Use this for simplest access to blobstore, knowing that MD5s will be calculated for every object.

Parameters:

container - existing container you wish to read or modify

options - allow you to specify a directory within the container, or whether to list recursively.

createInputStreamMap

@Deprecated
InputStreamMap createInputStreamMap(String container)

Deprecated. will be removed in jclouds 1.7. Please use BlobStore

Creates a Map view of the specified container. Use this for simplest access to blobstore, knowing that MD5s will be calculated for every object. Only root-level blobs will be visible.

Parameters:

container - existing container you wish to read or modify

createBlobMap

@Deprecated
BlobMap createBlobMap(String container,
                                 ListContainerOptions options)

Deprecated. will be removed in jclouds 1.7. Please use BlobStore

Creates a Map view of the specified container. Use this when you wan to control the content type, or manually specify length or size of blobs.

Parameters:

container - existing container you wish to read or modify

options - allow you to specify a directory within the container, or whether to list recursively.

createBlobMap

@Deprecated
BlobMap createBlobMap(String container)

Deprecated. will be removed in jclouds 1.7. Please use BlobStore

Creates a Map view of the specified container. Use this when you wan to control the content type, or manually specify length or size of blobs. Only root-level blobs will be visible.

Parameters:

container - existing container you wish to read or modify

getAsyncBlobStore

@Deprecated
AsyncBlobStore getAsyncBlobStore()

Deprecated. will be removed in jclouds 1.7, as async interfaces are no longer supported. Please use getBlobStore()

Returns:

a portable asynchronous interface for the BlobStore, which returns Futures for each call.

getBlobStore

BlobStore getBlobStore()

Returns:

a portable interface for the BlobStore.

getConsistencyModel

@Deprecated
ConsistencyModel getConsistencyModel()

Deprecated. will be removed in jclouds 1.7, as almost never correct.

Returns:

best guess at the consistency model used in this BlobStore.
